Find excellent wineries, delicious fresh produce, bustling towns, cool forest dells and charming rural heritage while exploring this rustic region of Gippsland.

Amid some of Victoria’s most famous regional attractions, Latrobe Valley is a gorgeous region known for its wineries, dining, rural scenery and sprawling nature reserves. Located in Gippsland, Latrobe Valley flanks the Latrobe River and contains the major centres of Moe, Traralgon and Morwell. Explore Latrobe Valley’s lush countryside, dine on expertly prepared local produce or head out to the nearby mountain ranges for an adventure.

Discover some of Latrobe Valley’s intriguing heritage in one of its regional cities or rural towns. Historically a farming and mining region, Latrobe Valley is dotted with heritage farmsteads and mining-boom architecture. Many gold rush-era railways have been transformed into scenic rail trails, so grab a bicycle and take a ride through beautiful bushland, green meadows and rugged high country.

Take a scenic drive through the lush farming landscape and find wineries and breweries interspersed with forest glades. Join a vineyard’s tasting session to try delicious cool-climate wines, such as pinot noir and chardonnay, paired with a platter of award-winning Gippsland cheeses. Visit a winery with a restaurant and sample some of the region’s high-quality produce.

In the major urban areas, find family-friendly activities, including shopping strips, cinemas, sports arenas and galleries. Don’t miss a visit to the Latrobe Regional Gallery’s impressive permanent collection. Play on a selection of excellent golf courses nearby in Central Gippsland.

Explore Latrobe Valley’s tranquil natural areas, such as the temperate rainforests of Tarra Bulga National Park. Admire the stunning orchids of Morwell National Park and walk amid 3,000 rose bushes at the Morwell Centenary Rose Garden.

Visit Latrobe Valley during one of the region’s exciting annual events, such as the Latrobe Spring Racing Carnival or the Moe Cup. Experience the area’s blend of cultures at the Multicultural Festival or enjoy smooth sounds at the Moe Jazz Festival.

Latrobe Valley is located in Gippsland, 90 minutes’ drive from Melbourne, the state’s capital city. Reach Latrobe Valley via Victoria’s extensive V/Line railway network. The region has hot, dry summers and the peak of nearby Mount Baw Baw becomes a gorgeous ski resort in winter.

"The property was very nice but the only thing was the heating in the room. It was very hard to manage and it was not showing the correct temperature at all. You turned it off and on again and the temperature jumped 2 degrees"
